Máel Muire ingen Cináeda was a daughter of Kenneth MacAlpin, King of the Dal Riada. She married two important Irish kings of the Uí Néill. Her first husband was Aed Finliath of the Cenél nEógain, King of Ailech and High King of Ireland. Niall Glúndub, ancestor of the O'Neill, was the son of this marriage.

Her second husband was Flann Sinna of Clann Cholmáin, King of Mide and also High King of Ireland. As the wife and mother of kings, when Máel Muire died in 913, her death was reported by the Annals of Ulster, an unusual thing for the male-centred chronicles of that time.
